And Ringwood opens on the tainted ground,

Is that thy praise? Let Ringwood's fame alone;

Just Ringwood leaves each animal his own;

Nor envies, when a gipsy you commit,

And shake the clumsy bench with country wit;

When you the dullest of dull things have said,

And then ask pardon for the jest you made.

Here breathe, my muse! and then thy task renew:

Ten thousand fools unsung are still in view.

Fewer lay-atheists made by church debates;
